Based on five years of research, the new treatment uses a light-sensitive dye to disrupt the development of the virus. According to Dr. Troy Felber, who headed the Baylor team, the photoactive dye combines with the viral genetic material, or DNA, to increase its sensitivity to light. Once this occurs, visible light, which is absorbed by the dye, apparently breaks the DNA strands, causing the virus to expire...
Rapid Relief. Applying the treatment, doctors simply puncture early cold-sore blisters and put a neutral red dye at the base of the lesions. They then expose the sore to the light of an ordinary 15-watt fluorescent tube for 15 minutes, wait one to six hours and repeat the process...

As she mutters she doesn't, she is immediately greeted by a guy strumming a guitar on a bench and whispering, "LSD for the Lady, LSD for the Lady...
...Cleveland cardiologist who in 1958 developed a method of mapping the cardiovascular system. Known by the jawbreaking name of cine coronary angiography, Sones' technique involved inserting a catheter, or thin piece of tubing, into an arm artery, guiding it up through the aorta and then squirting a radiopaque dye through it directly into the coronary arteries. The dye, which showed up clearly on motion picture X rays, made it possible for physicians to see with 90% accuracy exactly where the coronary arteries were blocked. The Sones method also enabled cardiologists to evaluate the results of their operations and proved...
Indeed, doctors are not above using such folk remedies themselves. In New York, researchers found that the wart count among some schoolchildren declined dramatically after doctors painted the growths with a bright vegetable dye. Dr. Goldman has tried an even more mystical method. He asks suggestible children to send him a detailed tracing of the wart-covered hand or foot. Then he burns the diagram and tells the youngsters that their warts will disappear in a few weeks. They usually...
